They are attempting to reduce their carbon dioxide footprint and reduce carbon emmisions of their vehicles. ]]> 2022-04-26 14:44:47 UTC https://padlet.com/pdm8bkzhcn/fr37d0yva6wwzbma/wish/2158660612 Problem pdm8bkzhcn https://padlet.com/pdm8bkzhcn/fr37d0yva6wwzbma/wish/2158671947 Reducing emissions is not an easy feat for any automobile manufacturer. Emissions are produced during every stage, from shipping oils, to constructing the vehicle as well as the function and maintenance of the car. The engines of vehicles have a contribution to these emissions, as cars are one of the largest sources of carbon emissions, and society's reliance on them for transportation does not help. ]]> 2022-04-26 14:50:10 UTC https://padlet.com/pdm8bkzhcn/fr37d0yva6wwzbma/wish/2158671947 Financial effects of pollution: Should it be regulated before or after the product is created? pdm8bkzhcn https://padlet.com/pdm8bkzhcn/fr37d0yva6wwzbma/wish/2158687463 I think that it is more profitable to avoid pollution from occurring. While it may be more expensive to set up at first, it will save money in the long run. There are multiple legislations that have imposed either the idea or the action of fining companies who can't adhere to the environmental standards they set.

On top of that, it may require many leadership changements inside the company, and may require hiring environmental experts or engineers with environmental backgrounds. ]]> 2022-04-26 14:59:32 UTC https://padlet.com/pdm8bkzhcn/fr37d0yva6wwzbma/wish/2158691399 Ontario's encouragement of Green Chemistry pdm8bkzhcn https://padlet.com/pdm8bkzhcn/fr37d0yva6wwzbma/wish/2158730014 They encourage green chemistry by providing companies with suggestions and starting points on alternatives from the chemicals that are currently being used by companies.

Therefore, the cost of establishing all of these environmental friendly methods and resources will pay off in the long run and enable the company to continue to grow without the loss of money. ]]> 2022-04-26 15:21:19 UTC https://padlet.com/pdm8bkzhcn/fr37d0yva6wwzbma/wish/2158735745 Ontario's encouragement of Green Chemistry pdm8bkzhcn https://padlet.com/pdm8bkzhcn/fr37d0yva6wwzbma/wish/2158738537 Another way they do this is by highlighting the numerous benefits of using cleaner resources and how this benefits the company and not only the environment. ]]> 2022-04-26 15:22:45 UTC https://padlet.com/pdm8bkzhcn/fr37d0yva6wwzbma/wish/2158738537 Ontario's encouragement of Green Chemistry pdm8bkzhcn https://padlet.com/pdm8bkzhcn/fr37d0yva6wwzbma/wish/2158739766 The final way they do this is through giving tools to understand the emissions of companies. They provide information on a measuring tool for emissions as well as a detailed plan on how they can change this emission. They also provide many more resources to encourage green chemistry, such as cost information, hazard information, and how realistic it is to technically employ. ]]> 2022-04-26 15:23:21 UTC https://padlet.com/pdm8bkzhcn/fr37d0yva6wwzbma/wish/2158739766 Works cited pdm8bkzhcn https://padlet.com/pdm8bkzhcn/fr37d0yva6wwzbma/wish/2158761931 Government of Ontario.
